Flashing Led's.

[Ferdens]

Hi. Fitted Can-bus Led's side lights and repeaters. No error on dash but they flash very slightly when switched off. How do I get rid of this.
Thanks in advance.

As dave said you cant. The car is sending a tiny pulse of power through the bulbs to check there still working. Its not enough to make a normal filament bulb iluminate but SMD's/LED's are more sensitive so you see the flash.

You could buy some bulb holder's and rig up your your own power supply from the back of the light switch but thats getting a bit faffy.

Just get some quality bluey/white side light bulbs so u get a similar look to leds but without any issues. I got some for about £10

Cant remember the make though
